Star Wars Is Everywhere: Episode LXVIIIPosted By Mike on January 4, 2012

It may be a new year but Star Wars is Everywhere keeps on chugging along. Let's just dive right into it, shall we...

From our friend John Tenuto:

"My wife Maria Jose found this advertisement (see photo attached) for Duracell batteries in this Sundayís newspaper. There is a coupon also attached to this. Donít know much more, such as whether the Duracell batteries will have a Star Wars product inside the packaging as is usually available with these kinds of promotions. The Episode I marketing has begun!"

We have a couple of items centered around the one and only James Earl Jones. First up, TFN reader Stefan sent over the following:

"This clip of an interview James Earl Jones gave with the BBC has just been put up here.

Apart from the well-known story he recounts (of him being chosen to voice Vader over Orson Welles), he also clearly shows some true love for the Saga and its fans - something very refreshing coming from one of the old guard of Star Wars actors!"

In addition, Justin C. sent over a link to CBS6Albany.com which reports on James Earl Jones swearing in his good friend Adrian "Butch" Anderson as the sherrif of Dutchess County, New York.(Thanks Stefan and Justin!)

TGDaily.com interviewed OT visual effects expert Harrison Ellenshaw about "Being a part of Team Star Wars."
